This is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents. Can you find a little extra to give? On this page we suggest a few organizations you might like to help.

       Littleton Children’s Home

       We don’t want your money, but children’s toys, books and clothes in good condition would be very welcome.

       Also—we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few hours or days as guests. You have so much—will you share it?

       Phone Sister Thomas on 55671.

       Children’s Hospice

       We look after a small number of very sick children. This important work needs skill and love. We cannot continue without gifts of money to pay for more nursing staff. We also need story books and toys suitable for quiet games.

       Please contact The Secretary, Little Children’s Hospice, Newby Road.w.^w.k.s.5*u.c.#o@m

       Street Food

       In the winter weather, it’s no fun being homeless. It’s even worse if you’re hungry. We give hot food to at least fifty people every night. It’s hard work, but necessary. Can you come and help? If not, can you find a little money? We use a very old kitchen, and we urgently need some new saucepans. Money for new ones would be most welcome indeed.

       Contact Street Food, c/o Mary’s House, Elming Way, Littleton. Phone 27713.

       Thank you!

       The Night Shelter

科目:高中英語 來源:2014屆湖北省沙市高二下學(xué)期第二次周練英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Last year, two days after Christmas, we kicked China out of the house. Not the country obviously, but bits of plastic, metal, and wood with the words “Made in China”. We kept what we already had, but stopped bringing any more in. because it had coated our lives with toys, and useless stuff. Sometimes I worried about jobs sent overseas, but price triumphed over virtue at our house. We couldn’t resist what China was selling.

But on that dark Monday last year, an unease feeling washed over me as I sat on the sofa. It wasn’t until then that I noticed a fact: China was taking over the place.

It stared back at me from the empty screen of the television. I spied it in the pile of tennis shoes by the door. It glowed in the lights on the Christmas tree and watched me in the eyes of a doll lying on the floor, I slipped off the couch and sorted gifts into two piles: China and non-China. The count came to China, 25, the world, 14. Christmas, I realized, had become a holiday made by the Chinese. Suddenly I wanted China out.

I persuaded my husband, and on Jan. 1 st, we started a-year-long household embargo on Chinese imports. The idea wasn’t to punish China. And we didn’t fool ourselves into thinking because we wanted to measure how far it had pushed in. We wanted to know what it would take in time, money, and worry to kick our China habit!

In the spring, our 4-year-old son started a campaign to support “China things”. “It’s too long without China,” he cried. He kept at me all day. I have discovered for myself that China doesn’t control every aspect of our daily lives, but if you take a close look at the underside of boxes in the toy department, I promise it will give you pause. “When we can buy China things again? Let’s never stop.” My son said.

After a year without China I can tell you this: You can still live without it, but it’s getting costlier by the day. And a decade from now I may not be brave enough to try it again.

1. The best title for the text could be _______.

A.China Free Living: A Trouble One

B.A Year without “Made in China”

C.Why I Choose “Made in China”

D.“Made in China”: Good or Bad

2. According to the passage, why did the author stop bringing in things “Made in China”?

A.Because she wanted to bring back job opportunities for her natives.

B.Because she has a strong sense of nationalism against “Made in China”.

C.Because she wanted to learn what life would be like without “Made in China”.

D.Because too much stuff made in China was take over her house.

3. The Underlined word “embargo” in the forth paragraph means ________.

A.reaction                              B.ban

C.restriction                             D.cancellation

4.The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is ________.

A.to tell the readers an interesting experience

B.to describe the trouble facing a housewife

C.to explain the importance of Chinese goods

D.to show the difficulty without Chinese goods

Birds in cities are damaging their health by trying to sing above the noise of urban life.

New research shows that male birds are trying to compete against traffic and city sounds.They are now singing louder and at higher frequencies,which could harm their vocal cords.Some birds are choosing to sing at night instead of dudng the day.This makes them more open to attack and also creates stress and exhanstion.

“The difference between urban and rural birdsong is becoming so big that the two groups could now be unable to communicate.This could lead to inbreeding and a weak gene pool.”said Dr Sue Anne Zollinger of the University of St Andrews.

According to Zollingar,a bird group with a small geae pool might adapt less quickly to new diseases and could be wiped out.

A study of the dawn chorus found that birds in Berlin sang up to 14 decibels(分貝)louder than those in the forest.The birds sang loudest on weekday momings.

“By trying to sing over the sound of the city,birds are rising vocal injury,”said Zollinger.“All this puts the sarne strain on a bird’s vocal cords as when  ahuman need to shout to be heard—except the birds are doing it all day,every day,”she said.

“Singing under such pressure means birds have less control over the sound they produce. Their songs may lose quality and become more rough—sounding.”said Zollinger.This could make them appear less attractive to female birds.

Mark Constantine,author of The Sound Approach to Birding,said:“Birdsong is important for our quality of life and has been proved to reduce our blood pressure.When we live in the centre of large,urban areas,we get stressed and it's extremely good to have birdsong around us.The impact on humans of birdsong is massive.It harms us,as well as the birds,if their songs become louder and simpler

53.Some birds in cities now choose to sing at night time because_______.

A.they want to attract more birds of opposite sex

B.they are more likely to be discovered by their family

C.they can’t adapt to the loud noises during the daytime

D.they have to frighten their enemy away

54.According to the passage,urban and rural birds might not be able to_______.

A.recognize each other

B  communicate with each other

C  live with each other

D.compete against each other

55.It requires greatest efforts for birds in cities to sing o_______.

A.Monday nights            B.Wednesday afternoons

C.Saturday Evenings         D.Friday momings

56.According to Dr Sue Anne Zollinger,birds singing louder might eventually lead to_______.

A.the harm done to man’s health

B  the dying out of a species

C.the serious damage to the bird’s vocal cords

D.the decrease ofthe birth rate ofa bird group

Most 23-year-olds have not done enough in life to be worthy of having their own documentary(紀(jì)錄片)

  Most 23-year-olds aren't LeBron James.

  The NBA superstar, who recently won gold at the Beijing Olympics, has just released More Than a Game. It is a documentary that follows his rise to stardom (明星地位) and how he and four childhood friends overcame long odds to win a national championship in high school.

  Combining footage (鏡頭) taken during James' career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, US, along with one-on-one interviews by writer/director Kris Belman, home videos, and personal family photographs, the film is about much more than basketball. At its core (核心) is a story of friendship, loyalty and love.

  "We set out with a goal as kids and we wanted to accomplish that someway, somehow by using basketball as a tool, not knowing that it was going to create other opportunities for us," James said. "We didn't know it was going to create a brotherhood and trust. We grew from kids into young men."

  While James is the star, his former teammates, Dru Joyce III, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee and Romeo Travis, play a major role in the film.

  Their journey began together as 8-year-old boys, winds through years traveling all over America playing in basketball tournaments and finishes in their senior season at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

  At the time, Belman was a college film student. He set out to film James and his friends' season as his final school project, a 10-minute documentary. But after gaining the trust of the players and coach Dru Joyce, Belman spent two months filming and eventually teamed with producer Harvey Mason Jr to the full-length feature.

  James hopes the film will inspire youngsters (年輕人).

  "We set out with a goal when we were eight and we accomplished it when we were 18," he said. "It's a great story and I wanted to get it out to kids that have a dream, that they should continue to go after it, believe in it and live it if they want to accomplish something."

1.LeBron James achieved his goal set at 8 when         .

       A.he won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics

       B.He won a national championship in high school

       C.he became a collage student

       D.he was interviewed by Kris Belman

2.Which of the following is unlikely to be included in the description of James?

3.More Than a Game is           .

       A.James’ favorite story about his childhood

       B.a(chǎn) documentary filmed by James’ classmate

       C.a(chǎn) film made by Belman

       D.a(chǎn)n article a bout James’ high school life

4.We can learn from the passage that More Than a Game is        .

       A.inspiring            B.dull                    C.puzzling              D.imaginary
